:      MockingBoard uses Slot addresses in the range $Cn00- $CnFF for I/O
: where n is the Slot #. This means that whatever Slot MockingBoard is
: placed in will have to be set to "Your Card" in the Control Panel. 

:      Quite a few programs expect MockingBoard to be in Slot 4. This
: includes MB demos and games like ThunderBombs and Lancaster. Ultima III
: allows specifying the Slot.

:      If you want to run MockingBoard wares with minimum hassle, stick the
: board into Slot 4. Set Slot 4 to "Your Card" when you want to run MB
: stuff. Set it back to Mouse for normal IIgs operation.

	This still wont fix the problem most of the time. I have tried 
just about everything to get these board to work with a GS and most 
software is still incompatible. Even when I get a game to work the system 
will usually lock up after a few minutes.
